Very hardy. Tolerates temperatures typical of a continental winter.
Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells and in its first year. Apply a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and again in mid-summer for optimal flowering. Lightly prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, diseased, or crossing stems, and to maintain shape. Regularly remove spent flowers (deadheading) to encourage continuous blooming and a tidy appearance. Generally disease-resistant, but monitor for common rose pests like aphids and treat if necessary.
This plant is deciduous so it will lose all of its leaves in the autumn and get fresh new foliage each spring.
